Michigan’s governor appeared to omit an out-of-state trip when questioned about what she did during spring break, in an interview just days before it emerged she traveled to Florida in March.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told MIRS, a Michigan news outlet, in a podcast interview on April 12 that “I was here in town the whole time” over the past year.
